La leggenda del nostro paese
name Lonate (dialect Moon) may have originated, rather than for the consecration of that country to the moon, from the Ligurian lon gloss, or lona valley, marshy pool or pond, which was existing in the neighborhood of . The existence of low lying areas is confirmed by documents relating to the level of the beginning of 1800 a square that turned into a basin of water during periods of rain. Ceppino The name is derived from the characteristic of the shore Olona, \u200b\u200bat which the country is high, has a consistency of high character and takes on a conglomerate that hard, in Lombardy, Strain. From the dictionary of place names is as dell'Olivieri meaning and Ceppino Cepino, "Sceppa" which is mean "strain." The name can also be the result of the composition of two nearby sites: Lonate = valley = valley, and Ceppino no longer the type of soil or anything, but the strain takes the form of the promontory on which it was built the first group of houses if you look from the valley. Precise and accurate indication of the origin of the name, with historical data now available, it is difficult to give and the hypotheses should be verified with further research and study. The explanation that the name derives from the fact that, looking at the country from the valley, you can see the strain placed on the moon is another of the fantasies that have become widespread, it is probably derived from a manuscript in the Biblioteca Ambrosiana in Milan N.

The Sormani try to give a name spigazione Lonate tying him to the cult that ancient peoples had for the stars so far as to dedicate, as in our case, the name of Housing at the moon. This is just a guess, however, no historical foundation, and the story should instead be reconstructed on the basis of documents.
